Down In Yon Forrest - Joan Baez

Down in yon forest there stands a hall…

The bells of Paradise I heard them ring…

It’s covered all over with purple and pall

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

In that hall there stands a bed…

The bells of Paradise I heard them ring…

It’s covered all over with scarlet so red…

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

At the bed-side there lies a stone…

The bells of Paradise I heard them ring…

Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon…

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Over that bed the moon shines bright…

The bells of Paradise I heard them ring…

Denoting our Saviour was born this night…

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
